A female UA teaching assistant called university police after an unknown male entered her 8 a.m. class Tuesday and stated, "I am here to observe you," police reports stated.

When the teacher spoke with the man, he said he was sent from the department offices down the hall. She responded that he was in her class without authorization and would have to leave.

The man reportedly stood up, dialed a number on a cellular telephone and left the premises at 1127 E. North Campus Dr., reports stated.

When the teacher reported the incident later that morning, she told officers the man had singled her out as the point of his observations and had emphasized "her" in conversation.

According to police reports, she said the encounter had made her "uncomfortable."

An English department official later told officers that any graduate teaching assistant would be familiar with a teaching evaluator prior to any class evaluation.

The assistant also offered to coordinate with police to develop a composite sketch of the man.


A male UA student called university police Wednesday and told them he twice had been harassed while playing pool at Sam's Place in the Memorial Student Union, 1303 E. University Blvd., police reports stated.

The student alleged that his pool opponent had become agitated after losing a match at about 2 p.m. Tuesday and then tried to pick a fight.

According to police reports, the opponent was mad about the defeat and told the student he would "kick his ass."

After the opponent "got in his face," the student said he walked away.

The victim reportedly returned to Sam's Place at noon Wednesday to practice for an upcoming tournament. He had just racked up the pool balls when the previous day's opponent approached and scattered the racked balls, reports stated.

The student then reportedly told his antagonist to leave him alone and left to call university police.

No arrests had been made, and the student told officers he wasn't interested in pressing charges.


University police arrested a Tucson man on suspicion of trespassing and drug-related charges Tuesday afternoon after someone telephoned to report a "suspicious" character in the Art building, 1031 N. Olive Rd., police reports stated.

When responding to the 3:15 p.m. call, officers noticed 27-year-old Chad E. Carter standing south of the Music building, 1017 N. Olive Rd. When asked, Carter replied he had been in the Art building and officers detained him at 3:15 p.m.

Carter, of the 400 block of South Third Street, told officers he had been thinking about applying to the graduate program and had been gathering information inside the building, reports stated.

A records check indicated Carter was sought for an outstanding trespassing warrant and officers then placed him under arrest.

While searching him, officers found a bottle containing what Carter said were testosterone pills for "improving muscle mass." Police also found two packs of condoms and three packs of Astroglide lubricant, reports stated.

Carter told police he couldn't remember from whom he received the bottle and officers reminded Carter that carrying drugs without a prescription is illegal.

Carter was cited on suspicion of possessing dangerous drugs and trespassing. He was later transported to Pima County Jail and booked.

He was transported from the Union, 1303 E. University Blvd., to Pima County Jail, where he was later released by Pretrial Services.
